Sd2a with a diference

Time to start restoring and rebuilding a very rare combination
butterfly bomb.

I had to rebuilt the shoulders on the bomb charge as it looked
as if the fuse had been chiseled out and had taken a chunk
of steel out of both sides of the casing.
With that complete time to give it a good clean and test fit
the fuse which is tight but fits.

will be posting more updates once i have a set of wings
put together.

Nice one Phil,
Yet another cracking one in the making!,i just love that fuze mate.:tinysmile_grin_t:

Thats a super repair job on the bodywork,i also see some clear code stamps on the edge of body?

Just noticed the hole in the bottom of the charge. Is it because this is a smoke/trainer version?

I have one the same at home and once thought someone had drilled it to display on a stand?
